No bikes please, we're Scottish

Okay, I'm still psyched for our trip to Glasgow next week, but I have to say that this story from the BBC gives me pause. What kind of country gives a man 3 years probation and puts him on a sex offender registry just for having a tender moment with his bike? Behind a locked door, no less. I've always thought of the UK as fetish-friendly, to say the least, but apparently Scotland is trying to establish some sort of kink-free zone.
